A fix for that should be windows version specific and needs support of the config subsystem. The logic is as follows: In the config subsystem ... 1) run a test which defines the os version 2) set the compiler option up if version is windows 95 add -D_WIN32_WINDOWS=0x0400 to cflags else if version is windows 98 then add -D_WIN32_WINDOWS=0x0410 to cflags else if version is windows Me then add -D_WIN32_WINDOWS=0x0500 to cflags else if version is winnt 4.0 then add -D_WIN32_WINNT=0x0400 to cflags else if version is windows 2000 then add -D_WIN32_WINNT=0x0500 to cflags else if version is windows XP then add -D_WIN32_WINNT=0x0501 to cflags else if version is windows server 2003 then add -D_WIN32_WINNT=0x0502 to cflags end In io.h ... #ifdef _WIN32 # if defined(_WIN32_WINDOWS) && (_WIN32_WINDOWS <= 0x0500) # define PIO_WIN32_SHARE_MODE (FILE_SHARE_READ |\ # FILE_SHARE_WRITE) # else # define PIO_WIN32_SHARE_MODE (FILE_SHARE_READ |\ # FILE_SHARE_WRITE |\ # FILE_SHARE_DELETE) #endif 0x4C56
